Run the code I first posted again, and look at the output carefully.

method_missing is passed the name of the method which didn't exist as 
the first argument, followed by 0 or more values which were the 
arguments to the original call. So you must define it to receive at 
least one argument.

A good template to use:

  def method_missing(method_name, *args, &block)
    ...
  end
